bacteria Flashcards
A bacteria which uses host actin filaments to travel through cells
Listeriosis
Brucellosis causes
Reproductive system and general illness
Survive in macrophages
Brucellosis
Ehrlichia is a genus of (blank) and infection occurs by (blank)
Rickettsiales, Transmittion through Ticks
Mycoplasma don’t have
No cell wall – No peptidoglycan
Mollicutes are a class of bacteria distinguished by
no cell wall
No cell wall – No peptidoglycan
Mycoplasma
No Gram staining
Mycoplasma
They are the smallest prokaryotic cells capable of self replication
Mycoplasma
zoonotic
Brucellosis, Bacillus anthracis
neck to one side
Listeriosis
Listeria monocytogenes causes
Septicemia, abortion, meningoencephalitis.
Septicemia is
blood poisoning, especially that caused by bacteria or their toxins
a Facultative intracellular bacterium
Listeria monocytogenes
meningoencephalitis
inflammation of the membranes of the brain and the adjoining cerebral tissue
Food borne pathogen
Listeriosis
Survive in macrophages
Brucellosis
Obligate intracellular bacteria,Transmitted through Ticks
Ehrlichiosis (Ricketsiales)
- M. pneumonia humans,
* M. bovis
humans, walking pneumonia
pneumonia and arthritis in cattle
Need special media and forms Fried egg colonies
Mycoplasma
Histotoxic , invasive, toxigenic
Clostridiums
Clostridiums are
Histotoxic , invasive, toxigenic Clostridium
Clostridium tetani infects (blank) and produces (blank)
infects wounds and produces tetanus toxin
Locked jaw is caused by
Tetanus
locked jaw is prodominatly in
horses
locked jaw is
spastic paralysis
flaccid or complete muscle paralysis
Clostridium botulinum
spastic paralysis is caused by
Clostridium tetani
locked jaw is an example
Clostridium botulinum produce
botulinum toxin
Not an infection but intoxication with BoNT
Clostridium botulinum
Clostridium botulinum is obtained from
food
Gram positive rod produce Endospores, exotoxin,
capsule.
Bacillus anthracis
Three separate(Tripartite toxin) proteins encoded on one plasmid.
Bacillus anthracis
Edema factor does what
inhibits neutrophil function
Bacillus anthracis edema factor inhibits neutrophil function to
evade phagocytosis bc neutrophil are responsible for phagocytosis
Lethal factor causes
cell death,
hypoxia-induced tissue injury/shock
Bacillus anthracis capsule:
- produced only in vivo
- polymers of D-glutamic acid( Not carbohydrate)
- encoded on a plasmid
- anti-phagocytic
Bacillus anthracis exotoxins
• Edema factor – calmodulin-dependent adenylate
cyclase (inhibits neutrophil function).
• Lethal factor – zinc metalloprotease (cell death,
hypoxia-induced tissue injury/shock).
• Protective antigen – cell binding factor (translocation into cell
Pili / fimbriae
ecoli
Neonatal colisepticemia in calves. -Edema disease in piglets. -In human hemorrhagic enteritis. -Hemolytic uremic syndrome and kidney failure O157H7.
E. coli
Enteropathogenic E.coli
Enteropathogenic E.coli
Attaching and effacing E. coli.
• Intimin is an E.coli protein for attachment
• E.coli produce Translocated intimin receptors(Tir) which in turn
act as receptor for E.coli intimin.

• Intimin is an E.coli protein for attachment
• E.coli produce Translocated intimin receptors(Tir) which in turn

Enteropathogenic E.coli
Salmonella causes
Gastroenteritis and systemic diseases
Salmonella dublin-
• Salmonella typhi-
Salmonella dublin- cattle
• Salmonella typhi- humans (Typhoid fever in human beings)
gram positive cocci
Staphylococcus
S. pseudintermedius occurs in what animal
dogs (Staphylococcus)
S. hyicus
Greasy pig disease in young pigs (Staphylococcus)
Pyogenic bacteria (inhibits neutrophils)
Staphylococcus
Virulent stains produce an enzyme called coagulase Coagulate blood plasma.
Staphylococcus
Oxacillin/methicillin resistance
Staphylococcus
Enterotoxin A-E – causes food poisoning (Superantigens).
Staphylococcus
Swine erysipelas is caused by
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae causes
Swine erysipelas or Diamond skin disease in swine
Caseous lymphadenitis
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: Caseous lymphadenitis
Caseous lymphadenitis
Characterized by abscess formation in major peripheral lymph nodes.
Acid fast positive- Mycolic acid
Acid fast positive- Mycolic acid
Acid fast positive- Mycolic acid
tuberculosis
tuberculosis is Acid fast positive because of
Mycolic acid
Facultative Intracellular Bacteria
Tuberculosis
Enterotoxin A-E (superantigen)
Staphylococcus
